Understanding the Cinematography of Wally Pfister 

Please never stop making these, they are so good.

It's amazing how fast you put these videos out but they still contain so much quality. Keep it up, man!

im not usually into this sort of stuff in terms of cinematography and film making etc but you have done a very very good job at making me interested

Wow, what a treat. You've done a terrific job. This was the one I have been waiting for the most!

love these videos! thanks so much for making them

0:44 I love that 80's erotic thriller look. Films like Fatal Attraction, Manhunter, To Live and Die in L.A, The Hunger, are all very cool looking. I would LOVE a video focusing solely on late 80's/early 90's thriller cinematography.

Favourite cinematographer!

Your videos are as addictive as any Netflix series... don't stop!

You are an Angel to Cinematography students❤️

Hi. Nice review. A peculiar style of cinematography. Warmer key lights are very good for both daytime and night time shots. Good review. Keep it up.

thank you for making these videos. u r doing an amazing job.

You really help me with your videos. I'm learning so much from them in order to prepare for my University admittance exam for the Cinematography college. Thank you!

Awesome equipment and technical breakdown! That said, I would have loved some of your thoughts on framing. Framing is a bit more subjective, so I understand steering away from it, but you have a great eye!

He did shoot some shots with a high speed digital camera for Inception, as you mentioned, but he said that they weren't used in the final film.

GREAT VIDEOS!!! keep doing them so well!!!

I love every single one of these thanks for doing them!! Anyway you could do one on writer/director/DP - Quentin Dupieux? Love his framing and camera work on RUBBER!

Hell yes! This was so good mate. Thank you =)

Cinematographers need more recognition than directors

Really enjoyed this video and the others in this series. Some reccomendstions would be Larry Smith and Vilmos (but I'm sure this one is in the works right now). Thanks again.

Great job mate!!! Love your channel!

Your videos are becoming addictive...keep it up !!

soo awesome

Great video as always, thanks! The DoP I'd like to have you analyzed would be Anthony Dod Mantle. I think he's a very interesting subject, as he does not only pushes the limits stylistically, but also technically - building custom camera setups and rigs designed for individual projects

one of my favorite DPs. good stuff!

your videos are so cool, keep doing this videos

I hope you make one of these videos about me one day. Not that I'm even good enough in the slightest but it'd be soooo cool to have you're own work studied to this degree. Another brilliant video man we done!

Thank you for this!! Your channel is becoming one of my favourites in all the RU-vid-verse!! Will you ever do Trent Opaloch?

Great work! I'd like to see videos about: Benoit Debie, Luca Bigazzi, Darius Khondji, Anthony Dod Mantle, Georgi Rerberg, Vadim Yosov...

Hey! thank you for your videos! I love them. One of my favorite cinematographers is Reed Morano. I hope you could analyze her work.

Thank you so much

Love it!!

Lovely information wolfcrow, would very much appreciate a video on Douglas Slocombe

After Emmanuel Lubezki and Roger Deakins, I wanted to see one on Wally Pfister. Thanks alot ! Great Video ! Cheers !

I would love to see a video on Vadim Yusov, Keep up the great work

These videos are fantastic. I'd love to see Darius Khondji and Jan De Bont.

I miss is when he was a DP. He was one of my all time favorites. PLEASE do a video on Sean Bobbitt, he's my favorite DP and one of the best who shoots on film (except when he shoots digitally which looks horribly). His cinematography is so beautiful I could watch it all day. If you can't I understand, I really appreciate your education from these videos. God loves you and has given you an incredible gift! :)

great videos!!!!

Thanks!

Always great! Please analyze the cinematography of Benoît Debie and of Matthew Libatique!

Thx wolfcrow =D whe we we have the honor to watch a video going like "how to create your own cinematography style " , digging in the process of the creation of the style , ie , going from a vision to technics and finally use of equipement . pleaaaase =)

thank you! make more videos

you the man!!!

Great series! May I suggest Kim Hyeong-gu- he works with Bong Joon Ho- Memories of Murder, The Host, etc.... and Darius Khondji

Hey, man - I'd love it if you could analyze the work of Nicola Pecorini!

Ah, who doesn't have to work on erotic thrillers to make ends meet? Thank you for yet another engaging analysis, and this time of one of my favourite cinematographers.

Please make a video about Dante Spinotti..He has to be in the series :)

My question: who does more of the camera work in movies? The director or the cinematographer?

You such a savior... Now waiting for Anthony Dod Mantle.. :D

Please make a video on P.C.Sreeram, the guru of many modern day cinematographers in India.

Good shit

Shadows in Moneyball are amazing.

Great job as always. Have you ever considered making a video on John Alcott?

Love from India keep up

Awesome video! Could you in your next video talk a little bit more about camera movement? Cheers

Please this is very important and whoever ever helps me, seriously I love you! So I've wondering this for months and months and somehow I can't find the answer, The question is what focal lengths does Christopher Nolan use the most or in this case Wally pfister?

Hi, first of all thank you for all your videos about cinematography. Could you do one about Carlo Di Palma?

Hey, I was wondering if you could do a video on the cinematographer Jacques Jouffret. He's done films like Transformers and The Purge. I really love his close ups for dialogue scenes. Most of his films are done on long lenses I believe. I would really appreciate it if you could do this one. :D

Please increase duration and add more more content

yes Brilliant

Could you please do Alwin H. Küchler?

Could you do Matthew Libatique?

When do we get Owen Roizman? If he was available, I'd hire him over anyone else.

Do you have videos about Robert Richardson?

You are a fucking gentleman and a scholar. We thank you.

Please do Robby Muller next！

are you taking on John Mathieson anytime soon?

please analyze indian cinematographer santhosh sivan

John Toll please:)

You should do Bill Pope next

Freddie Young!

Great video, but why didn't you guys add background music to any of your videos

why dont u try on pc sreeram work in ok kanmani mainly in songs

Do one for Benoit Debie please!

do rebert rodriguez

Do michael bay...i think people forget how crazy his shots are...with the last transformers he may finally be evolving his bad boys style to something cleaner

Memento shot with 75mm lenses? So with a 35mm film camera crop of 1.5, that's about 112mm...pretty long lens, far longer than I expected. Memento looks like it was lensed with normal lenses like 35mm-42mm.

Do a Guy Ritchie pls!

Dariusz Wolski Please

Slawomir idziak please!!!!

how about Steve Lawes how worked on 5 episodes of Sherlock

hahah nuclear rim light, brilliant sir!!

Fucking fantastic cinematographer. Is Robert Yeoman anytime soon?

Conrad L. Hall

Taking the footage from RU-vid or something isn't any good. Not only there's a lot of lossy compression artifacts after so many and heavy recompressions... It kills the detail and colors as well. In fact, most of the shots have lifted blacks, I think because depending on how the material is processed some software or devices unintentionally lift the blacks for some reason (aside from the destructive recompression). Not a reliable material to look at for reference purposes... It's not illegal at all to rip some shots of your Blu-ray or something as long as you use them for educational purposes. See *Fair Use.* I like, though, that you know (assuming you got it from a reliable source) some curiosities like he likes to grade using plasma, I'm guessing because it's much better than LCD for precise blacks and better contrast overall. That shows once again how important is to grade in a properly-calibrated and high-quality screen.

You can tell he isn't particularly a fan of Wally here...

Awesome cinematographer, awful director. Great video!

Are you a DP/Camera operator, mate?
